“We have decided that more development time is required in order to deliver the full Ni no Kuni II experience to our fans. I deeply apologise to those who have been looking forward to the game’s release. Please rest assured, however, that we will continue to strive to provide a deep and satisfying single player experience that our fans can look forward to enjoying,” said Akihiro Hino CEO and President of LEVEL-5 Inc.

Initially announced back in 2015, players have been waiting for this sequel for some time now, sadly it looks like they’ve got to wait a little longer.
